The 25th anniversary of Keep America Beautiful’s
Great American Cleanup, the nation’s largest community
improvement program, kicked off in Warner Robins with
Keep Warner Robins Beautiful (KWRB), Houston County
Habitat for Humanity, and Robins Regional Chamber
collaborating to host a massive cleanup of Commercial
Circle to North Pleasant Hill.
The Great American Cleanup, which takes place annually in
an estimated 20,000 communities nationwide, engages more
than 5 million volunteers and participants, on average, every
year to create a positive and lasting impact. KWRB, along
with Keep America Beautiful’s more than 600 communitybased
affiliates and partnering organizations, plan volunteer
events and education programs that help to renew parks,
trails and recreation areas, clean waterways, remove litter
and debris, reduce waste, improve recycling, and plant trees,
flowers and community gardens.
“We were thrilled to once again kick off the Great American
Cleanup with our friends at Houston County Habitat for
Humanity, while addressing community needs in a new
location with the Robins Regional Chamber,” said Keep Warner
Robins Beautiful Manager Tiffany Bowen. “Representatives
from several different organizations, sororities, fraternities,
businesses, and city departments came together through hard
work to create meaningful and lasting change in our local
community. Thanks to grappler trucks, roll offs, and a rear
end load donated by GFL Environmental, participants were
able to fill more than fifty bags of trash, they were also able
to fill dump trucks several times over with illegally dumped
items! The Great American Cleanup has been largely successful
because our local government, along with businesses, civic
organizations and dedicated volunteers, all work together to
make sure our neighborhoods come together to be the cleanest
and greenest possible.”
The 2023 Great American Cleanup is a call-to-action to
engage more volunteers and participants in public space
cleanup, beautification, and recycling events conducted
by Keep America Beautiful affiliates nationwide. Once an
individual becomes a Great American Cleanup volunteer
with their local Keep America Beautiful affiliate or partner,
the national nonprofit’s goal is that they will be inspired to
take that experience home to organize a similar, smallerscale
event in their own neighborhood … even on their own
block.
